What I needed

did not come so it turned into

 

What I wanted

and when that did not come it turned into

 

What I accept

will never come

 

I have never heard “I am proud of you”

I have never heard “you are a good mother”

I have never heard “we love you unconditionally”

 

Nor have I ever felt it

 

I love you both without judgment

 

I will honor you both as the scriptures and Commandments set forth

 

I love you more then you have ever loved me because I see past your faults and limitations even though that is backward for parent/child, it is Christian 

 

All of my life you have expected the world to end in the next breath

 

As for me, I will spend my life telling my children in the next breath how much I love them, am proud of them, and cherish every moment given

 

The world may very well end but my children will know the peace that took me 40 years to find

 

With this acceptance, I have taken back my power

 

With this acceptance, I am proud of you

 

With this acceptance, you are good parents

 

With this acceptance, I love you unconditionally
